Digimon Adventure AMV [Preview] ~ Sora Takenouchi
Song: “Ashita wa Motto” / “Tomorrow I’ll Be”
Singer/Artist: Mizutani Yuuko
(Sora’s Adventure Japanese voice actress)
{Note: Yuuko Mizutani passed away in 2016.
This AMV, with Mizutani’s original performances highly in mind,
was originally finished around September 2019,
but I had been outlining it ever since before Mizutani’s passing;
with that in mind, this AMV is also a tribute to Yuuko Mizutani[+’s Sora].}
See links above for lyrics/translation.
This amv is currently unfinished but overall mostly complete.
This amv is Sora-centric with a focus on her character development.
Primary general focuses are Sora & Piyomon (friendship) as well as
Sora & Toshiko Takenouchi (her mother)’s familial relationship.
Further original commentary under the ‘read more’!
Secondary (ship-hinted) focuses are Sorato (Yamato Ishida x Sora)
with bits of SoMi (Sora x Mimi Tachikawa) at end and
Yamato x Jou Kido x Sora polyship / trio / OT3 potential towards middle.
[ Yamato x Sora x Mimi x Jou in general can be an OT4 for me too . ]
Taichi & Sora is intended as friendship and not as ship (*unless also polyship).
My LGBTQIA+ Pride headcanon for Sora is BISEXUAL (or PANSEXUAL),
as well as Sora being Gender non-conforming in general ,
please keep this in mind when watching . (*Also don’t mind polyamorous!Sora)
Other included small scene translations below :
Taichi (“Tai”): …Don’t be stupid! PicoDevimon was obviously lying * !
[*about her Crest not glowing]
Sora: No… He wasn’t lying .
Sora: It happened … back when I was on the girls’ soccer team….
Sora: I was their ace striker.
Sora (flashback): Please understand, mother ! I have to be there !
Mrs. Toshiko Takenouchi: Please, lower your voice or the flowers will wilt .
Sora: Today is a really important match !
Toshiko: And how do you plan on playing with that leg of yours ?
Sora (looking down, at injured/bandaged leg): This is …
Sora (more frustrated/angry): … It’s nothing !
Toshiko: .. Anyway, sit down .
Sora (sitting down, wincing notably/audibly):
Toshiko: I want you to quit soccer .
You can’t even learn to sit gracefully on your heels from it .
Sora (loudly): NO ! I like soccer more than flowers !
Toshiko: Sora! .. How can you really call yourself my daughter ?
Sora (shocked, slowly gets teary-eyed): WHY can’t YOU UNDERSTAND ?!
Taichi (as flashback is ending): Sora, your house is famous for
traditional flower arrangement * [* Ikebana ], isn’t it ?
Sora: Yeah . My family is an “ ie-moto ”.
Takeru: What’s an “ ie-moto ” ?
Yamato: It means her mother is a MASTER who teaches flower arranging.
Sora (finishing): In the end, we lost horribly from that game .
Sora: I couldn’t stay in that club anymore .
Sora: My mother doesn’t see me as anything beyond the daughter of a flower arrangement school !
Sora: She thinks our reputation as an
“ ie-moto ” is more important than I am !!
Sora: .. That’s the kind of woman she is ! ..

Notes:
- SORA TAKENOUCHI MEANS MORE TO ME THAN I CAN DESCRIBE
- THIS EPISODE WAS MY FIRST DIGIMON EPISODE EVER (DUBBED)
- I LOVE IT SO MUCH MORE IN JAPANESE N E G L
- BUT IT’S SO DIFFERENT TOO AND YOU REALLY SHOULD WATCH ADVENTURES IN JAPANESE and in full TO UNDERSTAND SORA BETTER
- OK but no seriously this episode means more to me than I can ever describe
- Sora Takenouchi is an incredible character
- I Will Defend Sora Takenouchi With My Life
- Toshiko & Sora’s relationship as a mother and her daughter
is so much more interesting than this fandom makes it out to be
- I really wish this fandom would focus more on the canonically positive relationship between them
- Sora Takenouchi Is Still GNC (Gender non-conforming)
- SOURCE: ME . I’M GNC
- I Could Say More But I Should Leave This Commentary Here
